Why it's craft
This is the most direct of the Courage & Conviction bottlings: single malt matured only in first-fill bourbon casks from Kentucky for at least four years, with no wine or sherry cask in the mix. Virginia Distillery Co. mills, mashes, ferments and double distills its malt on Scottish-made copper pot stills in Lovingston, then matures and bottles it on site. It goes into the bottle at its natural color and without chill filtration.
